Supplying specification-grade silica sand to oilfield operators and service companies across the GCC and beyond.
Some USe Cases

Specification-Grade Silica Sand for Energy Operations

Well Cementing
Graded silica sand and silica flour for oilwell cement blends. Controlled particle size ensures consistent slurry density, compressive strength development, and long-term zonal isolation.
Frac Sand
Crush-resistant, round-grain silica sand for hydraulic fracturing. Graded to API/ISO specifications for optimal conductivity and well productivity.
Drilling Fluids
Fine-grade silica sand for weighted drilling muds and fluid-loss control. Consistent grading supports borehole stability and efficient drilling operations.
Gravel Packing
Sized sand for sand control completions in unconsolidated formations. Graded to prevent formation sand migration while maintaining well flow rates.
Filtration Media
Graded silica sand for industrial and produced water filtration systems across oil and gas operations. Consistent particle sizing ensures effective solids removal and long service life between backwash cycles.
Tank Bed Installations
ADNOC-approved silica sand for oil tank bed installations - one of our most significant energy sector applications. Our material meets the strict thermal and electrical resistivity requirements specified for storage tank bases, providing stable, inert bedding that protects tank integrity over the long term.
Pipe Coating
Fine-graded silica sand used in anti-corrosion coating systems for steel pipelines. Consistent grain size and surface profile ensure uniform adhesion and long-term coating performance.
Cable Trenching & Backfilling
Specification sand for bedding and backfilling around subsea and buried cables and pipelines. Clean, free-draining, and non-reactive - protecting infrastructure and meeting installation requirements.
Completion & Workover
Specification silica sand for completion fluid weighting, plugging, and workover operations. Reliable material properties for predictable downhole results.
